Microchip Explorer 16 Development Kit for PIC24 & dsPIC33
Microchip Explorer 16 development kit for evaluating PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32MX microcontrollers. Includes pre-programmed PIC24 and dsPIC33 PIMs.
The Microchip Explorer 16 Development Kit is a 16-bit development platform for evaluating PIC24 microcontrollers, dsPIC33 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and the 32-bit PIC32MX device family. It supports prototyping and debugging of embedded applications, with a flexible 100-pin interface that accepts two interchangeable Plug-In Modules (PIMs).
Overview
At the centre of the kit is the Explorer 16 development board. The kit includes pre-programmed PIMs for the PIC24FJ128GA010 and dsPIC33FJ256GP710, and developers can switch between processors using a dedicated slider switch. The design supports a range of 3V, 16-bit, pin-compatible microcontrollers when used with the appropriate PIM modules, which are visually indexed for correct installation.
Key Features
- Direct 9VDC power input supplying regulated +3.3V and +5V rails to the entire board
- 100-pin interface with two interchangeable Plug-In Modules
- USB and RS-232 connectivity for communication and device programming
- Compatible with MPLAB ICD 2 and MPLAB REAL ICE tools for programming and debugging
- Socket and edge connector compatible with PICtail Plus daughter cards
- Six-pin interface for the PICkit 2 programmer
- JTAG connector pad for optional boundary scan functionality
- Standard 6-wire In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) connector
- 74HCT4053 multiplexers for selectable crossover configuration on serial communication lines
Prototyping
A generous prototype area is provided for developing custom application circuitry, making it suitable for building and testing bespoke designs alongside the standard board features.
